| - Our long time friend suggested that we meet her for dinner at Restaurant Beijing...she had arrived early and secured a table for four which is great because by the time we got there the place was packed with a line up inside the door.
I had reviewed the Yelp reviews and knew that we should order the szechuan eggplant, clams in black bean sauce, salt & pepper crispy calamari, we added baby bokchoy, seafood fried rice, lobster with ginger and scallion, singapore vermicelli and started with a vegetarian hot & sour soup. We washed the above average food down with Tsing Tao. The food was hot, tasty and they made sure that no peanuts were present for our one diner who was allergic.
Of course we ordered far too much food but that was intentional so that the student at our table had leftovers. For me Chinese food is a simple combination of freshness, look and taste. Crispy should be crispy - it was, green should be green - very, and it should all be tasty - not just salty - check!
This is not fancy schmancy nouvelle cuisine chinoise - it is good, tasty chinese food at a reasonable price.
